Many people take Radio and Television for Granted. They just turn on the switch and listen or watch.

Of course, even a simple radio programme involves a lot of work and alot of people. For example, a news programme needs a team to work in close co-operation.

Television programs are more complicated than radio programmes. A television producer may have brilliant ideas for a programme, but he will have to convince his boss that it's worth a slot on Television.

Supposed a programme is a documentary or a current affairs programme, even a short programme needs quite a large team including

1. Presenters

2. One or more interviewers

3. Camera man

4. Designers: They will have to design the the studio set, as well as graphics to accompany the programme.

5. Editors: Using video tape recorders. An editor has a piece together a programme, and often needs to shorten it,as usually there is too much material to fit in the time allowed for the programmes.
